Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

It could..

If someone were to do a search of the clerk of court website they would see that someone had filed a case against you. A potential employer or someone else could then find this info. whether or not that will effect you I guess it depends on the circumstances.

The other potential issue that I could see would be if you were to violate the order and contact her in any manner then you could be charged with a misdemeanor for violating the order.

I handle these types of cases and would be glad to help; my office is here in South Florida.

Good luck,

There are other, additional consequences. These injunctions are covered under state staute as well as federal law. All states are required to enforce them. Such an injunction carries with it a denial of the right to own, use, or carry a firearm. That would eliminate you from potential employment where a firearm is necessary or required, including the military. Also, it makes you responsible for insuring the injunction is not violated and, if it is, you will be the one arrested and possibly imprisoned for the violation. The person who got the injunction can allege a violation with very little effort. I say, that unless your mother has good reason to be afraid of you and can substantiate it, I would fight the injunction tooth and nail.

Actually, the injunction won't prevent you from carrying a weapon in the military or in law enforcement, so your employment there wouldn't be directly barred. There's an exeption for that in the statute. Nevertheless, I agree that you should fight this, and that you should retain an attorney to assist you.
